• | Financial performance - In the third quarter of 2019, CP reported Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of $4.46, an increase of 3% as compared to the same period of 2018, primarily due to growth in operating income and lower average outstanding shares due to the Company's share repurchase program, partially offset by foreign exchange ("FX") translation losses on debt and lease liabilities in 2019 compared to FX translation gains on debt in 2018. Adjusted diluted EPS, which excludes the FX translation losses and gains on debt and lease liabilities, was $4.61 in the third quarter of 2019, an increase of 12% compared to the same period of 2018. This increase was primarily due to higher operating income and lower average outstanding shares. |
• | Total revenues - Total revenues increased by 4% in the third quarter of 2019 to $1,979 million from $1,898 million in the same period of 2018. This increase was primarily driven by higher freight rates, partially offset by lower volumes. |
• | Operating performance - CP's average train speed increased by 5% in the third quarter of 2019, to 22.7 miles per hour, due to completion of network infrastructure projects in 2018. Average train weight remained relatively unchanged at 9,173 tons and average train length increased by 1% to 7,446 feet due to improvements in operating plan efficiency, in each case compared to the same period in 2018. These metrics are discussed further in Performance Indicators of this Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
• | At the end of September 2019, Mr. Robert Johnson retired from his position as Executive Vice-President, Operations. Effective September 1, 2019, CP's new Executive Vice-President, Operations, is Mr. Mark Redd. |
• | On July 15, 2019, the Company announced the appointment of Ms. Andrea Robertson and Mr. Edward R. Hamberger to CP’s Board of Directors, effective July 15, 2019. |
• | On May 7, 2019, CP announced the election of all nine director nominees and, upon her re-election as a director, Ms. Isabelle Courville was confirmed as Chair of CP's Board of Directors. |
• | On May 6, 2019, CP announced an increase to the Company's quarterly dividend to $0.8300 per share from $0.6500 per share. |
• | During the first quarter of 2019, the Company experienced severe winter operating conditions and an increase in the frequency and severity of casualty incidents and derailments. As a result, the Company incurred significant costs for weather fighting, direct casualty costs, and higher operating costs. During this period and the subsequent network recovery the Company also experienced losses and deferrals of potential revenues. |
• | During the second quarter of 2018, the Company received multiple strike notices from the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference - Train & Engine ("TCRC"), representing approximately 3,000 conductors and locomotive engineers, and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers ("IBEW"), representing approximately 360 signal maintainers. CP reached a three-year agreement with IBEW, ratified by IBEW membership on June 29, 2018, and a four-year agreement with TCRC, ratified by TCRC membership on July 20, 2018. The wind-down of operations and return to full service levels following the strike notices caused disruption to the network, losses in potential revenue and costs related to labour disruptions. |

(1) | Certain figures have been updated to reflect new information or have been revised to conform with current presentation. |
• | A GTM is defined as the movement of one ton of train weight over one mile. GTMs are calculated by multiplying total train weight by the distance the train moved. Total train weight comprises the weight of the freight cars, their contents, and any inactive locomotives. An increase in GTMs indicates additional workload. GTMs increased by 2% in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. This increase was mainly attributable to higher volumes of international intermodal and crude. This increase was partially offset by lower volumes of Potash. |
• | Train miles are defined as the sum of the distance moved by all trains operated on the network. Train miles increased by 2% in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. This increase reflected the impact of a 2% increase in workload (GTMs). |
• | Average train weight is defined as the average gross weight of CP trains, both loaded and empty. This excludes trains in short-haul service, work trains used to move CP’s track equipment and materials, and the haulage of other railroads’ trains on CP’s network. Average train weight remained relatively flat in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. |
• | Average train length is defined as the average total length of CP trains, both loaded and empty. This includes all cars and locomotives on the train and is calculated as the sum of each car or locomotive's length multiplied by the distance travelled, divided by train miles. Local trains are excluded from this measure. Average train length increased by 1% in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. This increase was a result of improvements in operating plan efficiency. |
• | Average terminal dwell is defined as the average time a freight car resides within terminal boundaries expressed in hours. The timing starts with a train arriving at the terminal, a customer releasing the car to the Company, or a car arriving at interchange from another railroad. The timing ends when the train leaves, a customer receives the car from CP, or the freight car is transferred to another railroad. Freight cars are excluded if they are being stored at the terminal or used in track repairs. Average terminal dwell improved by 16% in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. This favourable decrease was due to improved network fluidity. |
• | Average train speed is defined as a measure of the line-haul movement from origin to destination including terminal dwell hours. It is calculated by dividing the total train miles travelled by the total train hours operated. This calculation does not include delay time related to customers or foreign railroads and excludes the time and distance travelled by: i) trains used in or around CP’s yards; ii) passenger trains; and iii) trains used for repairing track. Average train speed increased by 5% in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. This increase in speed was due to completion of network infrastructure projects in 2018. |
• | Fuel efficiency is defined as U.S. gallons of locomotive fuel consumed per 1,000 GTMs. Fuel consumed includes gallons from freight, yard and commuter service but excludes fuel used in capital projects and other non-freight activities. Fuel efficiency decreased by 1% in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. This decrease in efficiency was due to reduced train productivity and lower horsepower utilization. |
• | GTMs increased by 3% for the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. This increase was primarily due to increased volumes of Intermodal, Energy, chemicals and plastics, Canadian grain, and Potash. This increase was partially offset by decreased volumes of frac sand and U.S. grain. |
• | Train miles increased by 3% for the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. This increase reflected the impact of a 3% increase in workload (GTMs). |
• | Average train weight increased by 35 tons for the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. This slight increase was a result of improvements in operating plan efficiency combined with higher volumes of heavier commodities, such as Potash and crude. This slight increase was partially offset by the implementation of CP's winter contingency plan in the first quarter of 2019 resulting in shorter and lighter trains within the operating plan. |
• | Average train length increased by 1% for the first nine months of 2019 from the same period of 2018. This increase was primarily due to improvements in operating plan efficiency and increased Potash and Intermodal volumes, which move in longer trains. This increase was partially offset by the implementation of CP's winter contingency plan in the first quarter of 2019 resulting in shorter and lighter trains within the operating plan. |
• | Average terminal dwell decreased by 6% in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. This favourable decrease was due to improved network fluidity. |
• | Average train speed increased by 4% in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. This increase was primarily due to the completion of network infrastructure projects in 2018, partially offset by the impact of harsh winter operating conditions and network disruptions in the first quarter of 2019. |
• | Fuel efficiency was unchanged in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. Improvements in operating performance in the second quarter of 2019 were offset by decreased train productivity and lower horsepower utilization in the third quarter of 2019 and as a result of harsh winter conditions and network disruptions in the first quarter of 2019. |

| New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Accounting Changes | Accounting changes Implemented in 2019 Leases On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), and all related amendments under FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842, Leases. Using the cumulative-effect adjustment transition approach, the Company recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Accordingly, comparative financial information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. In January 2019, the Company implemented a lease management system to assist in delivering the required accounting changes. To facilitate the transition, the Company made policy choices to utilize available practical expedients provided by the new standard, including the:
Operating leases with fixed terms and in-substance fixed terms were transitioned by recognizing both an operating lease liability and right-of-use ("ROU") asset. Operating lease liabilities and ROU assets were calculated at the present value of remaining lease payments using the Company’s incremental borrowing interest rate as at January 1, 2019. ROU assets were further modified to include previously accrued balances for prepayments and initial direct costs, but reduced for accrued lease incentives. The Company did not recognize operating lease liabilities or ROU assets for leases requiring variable payment not dependent on an index or rate, or short term leases with a term of 12 months or less. On adoption, the standard had a material impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheet, but did not have a significant impact on its consolidated statement of income. The most significant impact was the recognition of operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, while the Company's accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. The impact of the adoption of ASC 842 as at January 1, 2019 was as follows:
There was no significant impact to lessor accounting upon the adoption of ASC 842. Future changes Financial Instruments - Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments under FASB ASC Topic 326. This will replace the current incurred loss methodology used for establishing a provision against financial assets, including accounts receivable, with a forward-looking expected loss methodology for accounts receivable, loans and other financial instruments. The standard is effective as of January 1, 2020. Entities are required to apply the amendments in this update using a modified retrospective approach, through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. The Company is currently performing analysis to determine the impact this new accounting standard will have on its financial statements, as well as determining the most appropriate portfolios of financial assets and the expected loss methodology to apply to each portfolio.

| Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Financial Instruments | Financial instruments A. Fair values of financial instruments The Company categorizes its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy established by GAAP that prioritizes those inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value based on the degree to which they are observable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market. When possible, the estimated fair value is based on quoted market prices and, if not available, it is based on estimates from third party brokers. For non-exchange-traded derivatives classified as Level 2, the Company uses standard valuation techniques to calculate fair value. Primary inputs to these techniques include observable market prices (interest, FX, and commodity) and volatility, depending on the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying risk. The Company uses inputs and data used by willing market participants when valuing derivatives and considers its own credit default swap spread as well as those of its counterparties in its determination of fair value. All derivatives and long-term debt are classified as Level 2. The carrying values of financial instruments equal or approximate their fair values with the exception of long-term debt:
The estimated fair value of current and long-term borrowings has been determined based on market information where available, or by discounting future payments of principal and interest at estimated interest rates expected to be available to the Company at period end. B. Financial risk management Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments may be used to selectively reduce volatility associated with fluctuations in interest rates, FX rates, the price of fuel, and stock-based compensation expense. Where derivatives are designated as hedging instruments, the relationship between the hedging instruments and their associated hedged items is documented, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for the use of the hedging instruments. This documentation includes linking the derivatives that are designated as fair value or cash flow hedges to specific assets or liabilities on the Company's Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets, commitments, or forecasted transactions. At the time a derivative contract is entered into and at least quarterly thereafter, an assessment is made as to whether the derivative item is effective in offsetting the changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged items. The derivative qualifies for hedge accounting treatment if it is effective in substantially mitigating the risk it was designed to address. It is not the Company’s intent to use financial derivatives or commodity instruments for trading or speculative purposes. FX management The Company conducts business transactions and owns assets in both Canada and the United States. As a result, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in the value of financial commitments, assets, liabilities, income, or cash flows due to changes in FX rates. The Company may enter into FX risk management transactions primarily to manage fluctuations in the exchange rate between Canadian and U.S. currencies. FX exposure is primarily mitigated through natural offsets created by revenues, expenditures, and balance sheet positions incurred in the same currency. Where appropriate, the Company may negotiate with customers and suppliers to reduce the net exposure. Net investment hedge The FX gains and losses on long-term debt are mainly unrealized and can only be realized when U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt matures or is settled. The Company also has long-term FX exposure on its investment in foreign subsidiaries with a U.S. dollar functional currency. The majority of the Company’s U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt has been designated as a hedge of the net investment in foreign subsidiaries. This designation has the effect of mitigating volatility on Net income by offsetting long-term FX gains and losses on U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt and gains and losses on its net investment. The effect of the net investment hedge recognized in “Other comprehensive income” for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was an unrealized FX loss of $68 million and an unrealized FX gain of $172 million, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 - unrealized FX gain of $96 million and an unrealized FX loss of $177 million, respectively). Interest rate management The Company is exposed to interest rate risk, which is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will vary as a result of changes in market interest rates. In order to manage funding needs or capital structure goals, the Company enters into debt or capital lease agreements that are subject to either fixed market interest rates set at the time of issue or floating rates determined by ongoing market conditions. Debt subject to variable interest rates exposes the Company to variability in interest expense, while debt subject to fixed interest rates exposes the Company to variability in the fair value of debt. To manage interest rate exposure, the Company accesses diverse sources of financing and manages borrowings in line with a targeted range of capital structure, debt ratings, liquidity needs, maturity schedule, and currency and interest rate profiles. In anticipation of future debt issuances, the Company may enter into forward rate agreements, that are designated as cash flow hedges, to substantially lock in all or a portion of the effective future interest expense. The Company may also enter into swap agreements, designated as fair value hedges, to manage the mix of fixed and floating rate debt. Forward starting swaps During the second quarter of 2018, the Company settled a notional U.S. $500 million of forward starting swaps related to the U.S. $500 million 4.000% 10-year Notes issued in the same period. The fair value of these derivative instruments at the time of settlement was a loss of U.S. $19 million ($24 million). The changes in fair value from forward starting swaps for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $nil (three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 - $nil and a gain of $31 million, respectively). This was recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss”, net of tax, and is being reclassified to "Net interest expense" on the Interim Consolidated Statements of Income until the underlying hedged notes are repaid. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, a net loss of $2 million and $7 million, respectively, related to settled forward starting swap hedges have been amortized to “Net interest expense” (three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 - net loss of $2 million and $7 million, respectively). The Company expects that during the next twelve months, an additional $9 million of net losses will be amortized to “Net interest expense”.

| Earnings Per Share | Earnings per share At September 30, 2019, the number of CP Common Shares outstanding was 137.5 million (September 30, 2018 - 142.6 million). Basic earnings per share have been calculated using net income for the period divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. The number of shares used in earnings per share calculations is reconciled as follows:
For the three months ended September 30, 2019, there were no options excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share (three months ended September 30, 2018 - 0.3 million). For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, there were 0.1 million options excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effects were not dilutive (nine months ended September 30, 2018 - 0.2 million).

| Leases [Abstract] | |
| Leases | The Company has leases for rolling stock, buildings, vehicles, railway equipment, and roadway machines. CP has entered into rolling stock leases that are fully variable or contain both fixed and variable components. Variable components are dependent on the hours and miles that the underlying equipment has been used. Fixed term, short-term, and variable operating lease costs are recorded in Equipment rents and Purchased services and other on the Company's Interim Consolidated Income Statements. Components of finance lease costs are recorded in Depreciation and amortization and Net interest expense on the Company's Interim Consolidated Income Statements. The Company determines lease existence and classification at the lease inception date. Leases are identified when an agreement conveys the right to control identified property for a period of time in exchange for consideration. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating and finance lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease payments include fixed and variable payments that are based on an index or a rate. If the Company's leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit interest rate, the Company uses internal incremental secured borrowing rates for comparable tenor in the same currency at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Operating and finance lease ROU assets also include lease prepayments and initial direct costs, but are reduced by lease incentives. The lease term may include periods associated with options to extend or exclude periods associated with options to terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise these options. The Company’s leases have remaining terms from one to 12 years, some of which include options to extend for up to an additional 10 years and some of which include options to terminate within one year. The Company has short-term operating leases with terms of 12 months or less, some of which include options to purchase that the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise. The Company has elected to apply the recognition exemption and, as such, accounts for leases with a term of 12 months or less off-balance sheet. Therefore, lease payments on these short-term operating leases are not included in operating lease ROU assets and liabilities, but are recognized as an expense in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Further, the Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components for all leases, except for leases of roadway machines.

| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Contingencies | Contingencies In the normal course of its operations, the Company becomes involved in various legal actions, including claims relating to injuries and damage to property. The Company maintains provisions it considers adequate for such actions. While the outcome with respect to actions outstanding or pending at September 30, 2019 cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that their resolution will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Legal proceedings related to Lac-Mégantic rail accident On July 6, 2013, a train carrying petroleum crude oil operated by Montreal Maine and Atlantic Railway (“MMAR”) or a subsidiary, Montreal Maine & Atlantic Canada Co. (“MMAC”, collectively “MMA Group”), derailed in Lac-Mégantic, Québec. The derailment occurred on a section of railway owned and operated by the MMA Group and while the MMA Group had custody and control of the train. Following the derailment, MMAC sought court protection in Canada under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act, R.S.C., 1985, c. C-36 and MMAR filed for bankruptcy in the United States. Plans of arrangement were approved in both Canada and the U.S. (the “Plans”), providing for the distribution of approximately $440 million amongst those claiming derailment damages. A number of legal proceedings, set out below, were commenced in Canada and the U.S. against CP and others:
The AGQ Action, the Class Action and the Promutuel Action have been consolidated and scheduled for a joint liability trial commencing September 14, 2020, followed by a damages trial, if necessary.
At this stage of the proceedings, any potential responsibility and the quantum of potential losses cannot be determined. Nevertheless, CP denies liability and is vigorously defending these proceedings. Environmental liabilities Environmental remediation accruals, recorded on an undiscounted basis unless a reliable, determinable estimate as to an amount and timing of costs can be established, cover site-specific remediation programs. The accruals for environmental remediation represent CP’s best estimate of its probable future obligation and include both asserted and unasserted claims, without reduction for anticipated recoveries from third parties. Although the recorded accruals include CP’s best estimate of all probable costs, CP’s total environmental remediation costs cannot be predicted with certainty. Accruals for environmental remediation may change from time to time as new information about previously untested sites becomes known, and as environmental laws and regulations evolve and advances are made in environmental remediation technology. The accruals may also vary as the courts decide legal proceedings against outside parties responsible for contamination. These potential charges, which cannot be quantified at this time, may materially affect income in the particular period in which a charge is recognized. Costs related to existing, but as yet unknown, or future contamination will be accrued in the period in which they become probable and reasonably estimable. The expense included in “Purchased services and other” for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $2 million and $4 million, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 - $2 million and $4 million, respectively). Provisions for environmental remediation costs are recorded in “Other long-term liabilities”, except for the current portion which is recorded in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities”. The total amount provided at September 30, 2019 was $80 million (December 31, 2018 - $82 million). Payments are expected to be made over 10 years through 2029.

| Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-based compensation At September 30, 2019, the Company had several stock-based compensation plans including stock option plans, various cash-settled liability plans, and an employee share purchase plan. These plans resulted in an expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $15 million and $88 million, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 - $28 million and $60 million, respectively). Stock option plan In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, under CP’s stock option plans, the Company issued 224,730 options at the weighted-average price of $272.66 per share, based on the closing price on the grant date. Pursuant to the employee plan, these options may be exercised upon vesting, which is between 12 months and 48 months after the grant date, and will expire after seven years. Under the fair value method, the fair value of the stock options at the grant date was approximately $14 million. The weighted-average fair value assumptions were approximately:
Performance share unit plan In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company issued 134,260 Performance Share Units ("PSUs") with a grant date fair value of approximately $36 million. These units attract dividend equivalents in the form of additional units based on the dividends paid on the Company’s Common Shares. PSUs vest and are settled in cash or in CP Common Shares, approximately three years after the grant date, contingent upon CP’s performance ("performance factor"). The fair value of these PSUs is measured periodically until settlement, using either a lattice-based valuation model or a Monte Carlo simulation model. The performance period for 133,681 PSUs issued in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021, and the performance factors for these PSUs are Return on Invested Capital ("ROIC"), Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") compared to the S&P/TSX 60 Index, and TSR compared to Class I railways. The performance factors for the remaining 579 PSUs are annual revenue for the fiscal year 2020, diluted earnings per share for the fiscal year 2020, and share price appreciation. The performance period for the PSUs issued in 2016 was January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018. The performance factors for these PSUs were Operating Ratio, ROIC, TSR compared to the S&P/TSX 60 index, and TSR compared to Class I railways. The resulting payout was 177% of the outstanding units multiplied by the Company's average share price that was calculated using the last 30 trading days preceding December 31, 2018. In the three months ended March 31, 2019, payouts occurred on the total outstanding awards, including dividends reinvested, totaling $54 million on 117,228 outstanding awards. Deferred share unit plan In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company granted 17,653 Deferred Share Units ("DSUs") with a grant date fair value of approximately $5 million. DSUs vest over various periods of up to 48 months and are only redeemable for a specified period after employment is terminated. An expense to income for DSUs is recognized over the vesting period for both the initial subscription price and the change in value between reporting periods.

| Basis of Presentation | Basis of presentation These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (“CP”, or “the Company”), expressed in Canadian dollars, reflect management’s estimates and assumptions that are necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). They do not include all disclosures required under GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2018 annual consolidated financial statements and notes included in CP's 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accounting policies used are consistent with the accounting policies used in preparing the 2018 annual consolidated financial statements, except for the newly adopted accounting policy discussed in Note 2. CP's operations can be affected by seasonal fluctuations such as changes in customer demand and weather-related issues. This seasonality could impact quarter-over-quarter comparisons. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly such information. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year.

| Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation | These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (“CP”, or “the Company”), expressed in Canadian dollars, reflect management’s estimates and assumptions that are necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). They do not include all disclosures required under GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2018 annual consolidated financial statements and notes included in CP's 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accounting policies used are consistent with the accounting policies used in preparing the 2018 annual consolidated financial statements, except for the newly adopted accounting policy discussed in Note 2. CP's operations can be affected by seasonal fluctuations such as changes in customer demand and weather-related issues. This seasonality could impact quarter-over-quarter comparisons. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly such information. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year.
